Terry Allen along with Jo Harvey Allen and The Panhandle Mystery Band will perform at The Grand 1894 Opera House in Galveston on Friday, January 10., it would be easy to imagine the 81- year-old spending his life haunted by all of the intricate and mysterious tales that were waiting to get out.
Throughout Allen’s career his work always focuses on telling meaty stories that pull the listener in like water down a drain, always blurring the line between truth and fiction. “They're stories that I wrote. They're my stories and they're mostly autobiographical but you know, autobiographical with a big emphasis on bullshit,” he says, drawing out the vowel sound in “bull” with his warm, deep Texas accent.
“I pretty much used everything that I felt was going haywire in my life as a device to propel myself out of there,” something he sees as a common mindset most curious kids will have the urge to do in small towns all over the world. The results have been beautifully re-issued versions of Allen’s albums complete with liner notes and essays written by Greaves, something Allen views as the precursor to“He didn't make a distinction between the visual art and the music and that's always been something that’s been a pain in the ass for me that people do, they always separate it. I never separate it because the two things have informed each other so much that they're the same thing to me.
